FXX Orders Animated Comedy Little Demon; The CW to Revive Legends of the Hidden Temple

FXX has ordered the new animated comedy series Little Demon. The half-hour series is created and written by Darcy Fowler, Seth Kirschner and Kieran Valla, and features Danny DeVito, Aubrey Plaza and Lucy DeVito among the voice talent. Little Demon will premiere on FXX and be available to stream the following day on FX on Hulu. Thirteen years after being impregnated by the Devil (Danny DeVito), a reluctant mother (Aubrey Plaza) and her Antichrist daughter (Lucy DeVito) attempt to live an ordinary life in Delaware, but are constantly thwarted by monstrous forces, including Satan, who yearns for custody of his daughter's soul. Aubrey Plaza serves as an executive producer along with Fowler, Kirschner, Valla, Dan Harmon, Jersey Films 2nd Avenue's Jake, Lucy, and Danny DeVito, and ShadowMachine (Monica Mitchell, Corey Campodonico and Alex Bulkley). Steve Levy serves as a producer on the project. Little Demon is produced by FX Productions.
The CW Network has ordered a new, reimagined edition of the iconic Nickelodeon adventure series Legends of the Hidden Temple, further expanding the network's alternative programming slate. The series' premiere date and time will be announced later. This supersized, adult version of Legends of the Hidden Temple preserves many of the original Nickelodeon series' favorite elements, including "Olmec" - the giant talking Mayan head - the "Moat Crossings," "The Steps of Knowledge," the "Temple Run," and of course, the iconic team names: "Purple Parrots," "Blue Barracudas," "Orange Iguanas," "Red Jaguars," "Silver Snakes" and "Green Monkeys." Only this time, the entire show is taken out of the studio into a "jungle" and scaled up with tougher challenges and much bigger prizes on the line. Every episode is a hero's journey through a mysterious jungle. Five teams begin the journey, but only one is "strong enough and smart enough" to enter the ominous Olmec's Temple, avoid the "dreaded" Temple Guards, retrieve a lost treasure, and return it to its rightful owner.
Legends of the Hidden Temple, the cherished ‘90s Nickelodeon competition show, originally aired from 1993-1995, with repeats airing continuously for nearly thirty years. Legends of the Hidden Temple holds a special place in millennial hearts -- inspiring a movie, mobile games, a board game, and one of the most popular Halloween costumes every year. The award-winning series was inspired by the seminal Nintendo game The Legend of Zelda and the Indiana Jones movie franchise.
